Question

The image of (-4,6) reflected along the y-axis is

a. (4, -6)
b. (-4,-6)
c. (4, 6)
d. (-4, 6)

Answer 1

c. (4, 6)

Explanation:

The rule of an reflection about the y-axis is:
`A(x,y)\rightarrow A'(-x,y)`

Apply the rule to point (-4, 6):

`\frac{(-4,6)\rightarrow\boxed{(4,6)}}{(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)}`

Option C should be the correct answer.

Answer 2

C(4,6)

the x turns into its opposite when reflected across y same thing for y when reflected across x
